Wisconsin urges residents to get flood insurance amid growing risk and 30-day waiting period.

During Flood Insurance Awareness Week in Wisconsin, the state's DNR highlights the growing flood risk and the necessity of proper flood insurance. Most standard insurance policies don't cover flood damage, and federal flood insurance is available through the NFIP for properties, including those outside Special Flood Hazard Areas. About 40% of NFIP claims come from outside these areas. With a 30-day waiting period, residents are urged to sign up before spring. Mandatory for mortgaged properties in high-risk zones, all owners are advised to consider their flood risks.
